Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 65 43. Heading to Arasaka Academy
"Targeting, prosthetic overheating, movement obstruction, memory erasure. Well, just buy these to familiarize yourself with them first."

Carl bought the puppet and walked out of the hacker shop. He spent a total of 20,000 euros on this shopping. Together with the 192,000 euros he spent on modifying his prosthetic body, he spent 212,000 euros in the morning and noon.

This money is actually spent quite quickly.

One million one hundred and twenty thousand euros minus two hundred and twenty-two thousand euros, minus the travel expenses, food expenses, and miscellaneous software and other things, Carl now has about nine hundred thousand euros.

If I think about it carefully, if that young lady hadn't given me one million, I really wouldn't be able to afford the upgrade.

But now all he needs to carry out the mission again is a gun.

After careful consideration, Carl decided to ask Oliver to buy him a Kenshin.

He hasn't tried other products yet, but Qianxin has tried them himself. Now he has to get a gun to carry with him. It's too dangerous to walk on the streets of Night City without a good gun, and he doesn't have the time to be picky.

The message sent to Oliver received a reply from him soon. Oliver said that he was still testing the gun and would bring Carl a Kenshin when he came back. He also asked Carl if he needed him to pick it up.

Well, this professional driver has now integrated into his identity and is quite competent.

Carl suppressed the words that would surely bring complaints from Oliver if he said this to his face, but he had no intention of letting Oliver pick him up. It was a rare day off, so he might as well let Oliver test the gun himself. He also happened to have some time off for a walk.

After sending an unwanted message to Oliver, Carl took his first leisurely stroll down the street.

How should I describe the street scenery of Watson District in Night City?

Carl looked away at the gangster wearing a Mewtwo player on his head and moving his lower body and hands in public on the street.

Elsewhere, a woman dressed like a painted duck in colorful clothes was leaning against the entrance of the alley, waving her hand to attract customers. Carl looked over and noticed several figures lurking in the darkness of the alley behind her.

Venting desires in public, and seducing people to commit suicide
Well, it seems quite normal.

There's nothing particularly weird about it.

Just as Carl was thinking this, a car suddenly came from far away and sped past Carl. The dust it raised almost blew Carl in the face. Then several gunshots rang out, and following the vehicle in front, a car that seemed to be chasing also drove past quickly.

Carl protected his face with clothes in time, but his body was still covered with a thin layer of dust, and his face became gloomy.

The people in Night City are so rude.

Maybe I should shoot them to teach them a lesson and tell them the consequences of speeding on the streets.

Carl pulled out his gun and fired two shots without hesitation.

'laugh. '

No sound was heard, but in his mind, Carl made a little dubbing for the two bullets that hit.

Then, Carl looked at the vehicle whose rear tire was blown out and whose trajectory began to deviate, smiled, put the Lexington back into the holster at his waist, and chose to forgive them.

In 2075, most vehicles have very sturdy tires. Just a blown tire will not cause the vehicle to overturn and cause a traffic accident that affects other people. As a small revenge, it is enough.

'Remember not to drive recklessly next time.'

Carl, who was in a good mood, remembered what he had read yesterday.

Arasaka Academy Enrollment
Remember that was downtown?

You're free anyway, why not go and take a look?

Carl stopped a taxi on the roadside, and this taxi was a combat taxi, that is, a taxi that can use force to protect passengers when necessary. Combat taxis are not uncommon these days. It would be a bit too careless to drive an ordinary taxi in Night City.

"Where?"

"Arasaka Academy."

Listening to Carl's words, the driver glanced at Carl, as if he saw something from his age, but he didn't say anything else. After confirming the destination, he started driving quietly.

In 2075, the most famous combat taxi is the 'Draman', which is a taxi driven by AI. It is rumored that the firepower installed on it can be compared with that of an armored vehicle. However, due to its high price, it cannot completely occupy the market share of combat taxis. Therefore, most combat taxis running on the streets of Night City are still driven by humans.

For a company, people are just consumables. AI may go on strike due to factors such as equipment and electricity, but people who have to support their families will not only not go on strike, but will also spend their own money to maintain the best working condition in order to better complete their work. In this way, the company can actually make a profit.

On the way, Carl read about Arasaka Academy in detail and gained a basic understanding of the academy.

Simply put.

This school is a school specially opened by Arasaka to train company dogs.

　PS. There’s more to come later. This chapter is too short, so I’ll have a midnight snack first.
